PEOCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 
r Mr. Vezey read an extract from a letter received from Mr. C. J. 
Pound, a Fellow of tlie Society, and Government Bacteriologist at 
Brisbane, as follows : — 
“ I Lave only just returned from a six months’ visit to the Bulloo 
River district (1000 miles inland), where I have been conducting an 
exhaustive series of experiments with the bacteria of chicken-cholera on 
rabbits living under natural conditions in some instances in open 
country. 
“You may remember that in 1887 the late M. Pasteur proposed to 
destroy the rabbits in Australia with this disease, but his scheme was 
rejected by a Royal Commission appointed by the New South Wales 
Government. 
“ However, the results of my investigation, which have been highly 
satisfactory, tend to prove the efficacy of Pasteur’s scheme of rabbit 
destruction. 
“ A copy of my report will be forwarded to you in a few days” (see 
p. 240).
